unity-module-scripts v1.0.1

unity-module-scripts

Common package scripts for Unity modules built using the Node.js / npm ecosystem. To understand why this might be a good idea, you should read this detailed explanation.

Prerequisites

Install Node.js for your platform and restart your session such that node and npm are on PATH.

Usage

For a Unity module with an existing package.json, install unity-module-scripts:

npm install unity-module-scripts --save

Configure package.json for your postinstall and postuninstall steps:

  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "node pkg-scripts/postinstall.js",
    "postuninstall": "node pkg-scripts/postuninstall.js"
  },

Add pkg-scripts/postinstall.js to your module:

'use strict'

var pkg = require('../package.json')
var path = require('path')
var umscripts = require('unity-module-scripts')

umscripts.simplePostInstall(pkg.name, path.resolve(__dirname, '..'))

Add pkg-scripts/postuninstall.js to your module:

'use strict'

var pkg = require('../package.json')
var path = require('path')
var umscripts = require('unity-module-scripts')

umscripts.simplePostUninstall(pkg.name, path.resolve(__dirname, '..'))

When added as a dependency to an existing Unity solution, your package will now be installed into the Assets/Modules/<package_name> directory and automatically be imported into the editor.

For a new package, it may be a good idea to start with this boilerplate module. Happy hacking!
